Shane had never read that an Innate-Skill could have so little information. However, when he gave it a second thought, he knew that the provided information might already be enough for him to conclude some things.

According to the System´s common [Beast ranking], [Low-Wild] beasts were considered the weakest beasts within the Primordial Dimension, followed by Elite beasts, Awakened beasts, Myst stage beasts, and so on.

With this limit, Shane thought, for the time being, he could, at the most, tame one Low-Wild beast.

Considering that the Wild stage was equivalent to a Mortal stage, Shane could form a contract with a beast, equivalent to the 3rd Mortal stage, at the most.

Even though that was not a huge advantage as his physique was relatively stronger, overcoming threats with a companion was always better than fighting alone.

As such, he was still happy about the fact when the mechanical voice spoke inside his head once more, breaking his train of thoughts.

[Host´s time within the System-awakening room is almost used up. 9M:59S remaining.]

[Utilization of 10 gold coins is recommended]

'AH!' Shane suddenly shouted in his mind, because he had already forgotten that the time within the System awakening room was limited.

He had 10 gold coins left, but there were too many things that he wanted to purchase.

Fortunately, Shane had already thought about this before. There were many guides online, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of every item to make the first purchase.

But, why should Shane refer to their guides, when he had already made up his mind about his purchase?

10 gold coins were a vast fortune for anyone who entered the Primordial Dimension for the first time. But Shane was well aware of the fortunes one would have to spend, in order to reach higher ranks quickly.

He commanded the system to open the [Shop], and a catalog consisting of millions of items appeared in front of him on a holographic screen.

There were a few columns, with weapons, armors, potions, food, cultivation manuals, body refining manuals, skill tomes, miscellaneous, and many more items. However, Shane ignored them all and utilized the search section instead.

In five minutes flat, he had already spent his entire fortune.

A ring with a small black stone, and two potions suddenly appeared in Shane's hands.

The potions vanished a moment later, and Shane smiled, looking at the ring decorating his finger.

[Spatial Ring:

Grade: Mortal

Quality: [Common]

Description: Dimension-stone embedded within a ring. Able to store all kinds of inanimate materials, and miscellaneous things within.

Storage space: [1 cubic meter]

Price: 8 Gold coins]

The spatial ring that he was wearing right now was one of the most basic items which many cultivators would purchase in the future. However, it was an unusual pick for a first purchase. Shane didn't fret about it and instead focussed his attention on the two Potions within the spatial ring.

Their price was one gold per bottle, and Shane frowned looking at the prices. It was roughly more than double the market price, while the spatial ring was even more expensive.

Unfortunately, Shane couldn't take the 10 gold out of the System-awakening room that he had received as a gift for entering the Primordial Dimensions for the first time..

Nevertheless, it was still fine with him, and he left the white room by stepping through the Dimension Portal once again.

After crossing the Portal, Shane had to choose his next destination.

He had a rough plan of where he wanted to go, but it was only now that Shane understood how vast the Primordial DImension was. Mankind alone occupied more than 30 Basic-Dimensions with their shelters, and they were about to expand their territory even further.

Apparently, the Primordial Dimensions were divided into four sections:

Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Main Dimensions

Humans could decide which sections they wanted to enter. But, the biggest problem was to find a way back home as the fees for a single trip were exorbitant for some Dimensions.

Also, the beasts inhabiting the Advanced and Main Dimensions were terrifying and could kill most humans in the blink of an eye.

However, the system had its own restrictions!

For instance, every being below the Master stage was eligible to enter the Basic Dimension. However, one would lose access to it once one broke into the Master- and equivalent stages other races had.

This was probably a function created by the System to prevent strong races from annihilating weaker ones by massacring them with their overwhelming strength.

Because of that function, humanity could flourish inside the Primordial Dimension, as they were innately weak, and were forced to prosper at a slower pace.

Without the presence of exceptionally terrifying entities threatening their existence, humans at least had the chance to prosper, and fight back.

Shane knew that the Basic Primordial Dimension would only accommodate beasts from the Wild, Elite, and Awakened stage, while Humans at the Mortal, Apprentice, and Expert stage were eligible to enter it.

Intermediate Primordial Dimensions would harbor humans until they reached the 6th Stage of Human Cultivation, which was the Ruler stage.

He only knew that, because his dad, the strongest human on Igra, had already surpassed this stage but even he was unaware of his father's true potential and strength.

Shane didn't give it much importance, because it was not his own achievement, rather it was his father's. In his opinion, showing off achievements one hadn't accomplished on their own, was embarrassing.

After selecting a Basic Dimension, Shane sensed the surroundings change at a breakneck speed. Instinctively, he closed his eyes, to prevent the sickness from worsening, caused by teleporting through space.

Before he knew what happened, he felt his feet touch the ground and took a deep breath. The air around him was remarkably fresh, and not even remotely comparable to the polluted air on Igra.

Opening his eyes, Shane noticed that he had appeared in the center of a city.

He emerged inside the Soul-Onyx-Jungle dimension where humanity established a shelter that was called 'Black soul' shelter.

In this shelter, humans were able to stay, secure from dangerous beasts that inhabit the Basic-Dimension.

The constructions within the shelter were old and resembled the ancient structures of the old middle ages era. Only, there was a slight touch of advanced technology to the seemingly old manors

Looking around, Shane saw that most buildings were constructed with stones, concrete, sand-lime bricks, and other materials but steel and other similar sturdy materials were noticeably absent.

He was aware of the fact that nothing could be brought inside the Primordial Dimension, except items, and materials that existed within the Primordial Dimensions itself.

The only exception to this rule were clothes, as long as they weren't supposed to protect someone from beings at a higher stage than the ones eligible to enter.

As such, one could bring all kinds of clothes within, as long as they didn't provide the wearer an insurmountable advantage.

This was another rule the System established→ The only advantage allowed to be taken inside the Primordial Dimensions was one's innate talent.

Being an interstellar race did not automatically make humans stronger within the Primordial Dimensions, even if they could destroy continents or even whole planets with their technological expertise.

This was, once again, an indirect advantage to the human race.

Humanity was less developed in technology and innately weaker compared to other races they met on their journey through the Primordial Dimension.

But, it seemed as if the System gave weak races, such as humanity, the opportunity to rewrite their destiny.

Slowly and steadily, humans began to understand the ways of the system and reap benefits from it.

Shane walked down the stairway leading to the Dimensional Portal and looked around. Not a single citizen was around which caused him to smile with relief..

Each Race would have its own small territory within which they were allowed to establish a shelter. With a certain protection period, they had to construct a defensive line in order to prevent beasts from invading the Dimensional Portal that was designated for humans.

Once other beasts or races conquered the Dimensional Portal of a particular race, the defeated race would be punished. This punishment could either be executed by destroying the connection between the particular Dimension and their home or increasing the world protection fee according to the Dimension's rank.

Having your shelter conquered meant a severe punishment.

However, the Dimension Shane chose wasn´t prosperous enough for larger companies to send workers to mine or farm. Neither did many humans live here as the surrounding looked eerie and dangerous, while the air smelled oddly fresh.

There were only a few items one could procure here, causing mankind to disregard the thought of abandoning this place.

One of the reasons for humanity to defend this place was the Soul-Onyx-wood, which caused the popularity of this dimension to increase considerably, even if it was eerie and perilous.

However, the soul-onyx wood wasn't the reason for Shane to choose this dimension. He had given it a careful thought and now his plan was about to be set in motion.
